| Interesting comments. MCN tested it today against VFR800, TDM900 and GSXR600-the Multistrada won!
Comment from Terblanche " We are working on many new idea's and looking at extending the Multistrada range. I'm confident that we can do even better than this bike with Ducati's new technologies" so maybe that will be a testastretta powered Multistrada in the future-now that would really rock.
I found when I rode it that I could cruise at 100 comfortably but that by the time you got to 115 it was a bit windy-but then I am only 5ft 10in. A monster S4 would thrash it in a straight line but on give and take roads I don't think the monster rider would see which way the Multistrada went. Totally agree with you about winding it out of corners, you have so much feel for what the tyres are doing you can just gas it and go. The Multistrada was holding onto Keefyboy on his 998S when we rode around near Melton Mowbray-and he is quick. Obviously on a smoother straighter road he would have vanished. Riding down roads I don't know I would be quicker on a Multistrada than my ST4S since you can stop it, turn it, and gas it out of corners with so much more confidance. But, I can cruise my ST4S 2 up at 120 in comfort-horses for courses and all that.
